AceShowbiz - Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have announced their separation after nearly 14 years of marriage. The couple, who met at a party in Sydney in 2001, tied the knot in a Jewish ceremony in Paris in 2010. They share three children together.
Sources close to the couple reveal that their relationship had been strained in recent years due to conflicting professional and family commitments. Cohen's demanding filming schedules and Fisher's own career aspirations led to frequent arguments over childcare and parenting responsibilities.
In a joint statement shared on social media, Cohen and Fisher said, "After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down." They emphasized their commitment to their family and requested privacy during this transition.
Despite their separation, the couple remains close and has been working out arrangements to ensure Sacha's active involvement in the children's lives. Sources deny any involvement of cheating or infidelity in their split.
The announcement of their separation comes amidst controversy surrounding Sacha Baron Cohen. In her memoir, "Rebel Rising," Rebel Wilson alleges that Sacha behaved inappropriately on the set of their 2016 film "The Brothers Grimsby." Sacha has vehemently denied the allegations, claiming that they are contradicted by evidence.
Isla was reportedly "embarrassed" by the controversies, and the couple's decision to announce their separation was reportedly a way to protect their family from the media attention. Meanwhile, a source insisted that their split had "nothing to do" with the allegations against him.
Despite the challenges they have faced, Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have expressed their gratitude for their time together and their ongoing love and devotion to their children.
